If you are looking for the an affordable starting package, the A70Lf with Porta Mount II is the one. This package combines sharp optics and a rock solid, light weight mount. It takes just seconds to place the telescope on the mount and you are ready for an evening of observing.

When I first started in amateur astronomy, I did as most beginners and purchased a department store telescope that advertised the most power. (700x I believe) Unfortunately, again like most beginners, I found that the advertised power was impossible due to the size of the telescope and more importantly the lack of stability of the mount.

The NA (Neo-Achromatic) refractor features a two element secondary lens at the rear of the optical tube to provide a flatter field of view (Petzval design). Spherical abberation and field curvature are less than 1/3 to 1/5 of standard doublet refractors.
